Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates to the use of cyclopropyl amide compounds, compositions and methods for controlling parasitic infestations of animals.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] A number of parasites are known to infest animals. These parasites can be great nuisances to both the animals and their owners.

[0003] Treatment of animals to prevent infestation by parasites, or to reduce or control the proliferation of these parasites, especially ectoparasites of animals such as ticks in animals is thus important.

[0004] The compounds currently available for parasite control and especially ectoparasite and tick control do not always demonstrate good efficacy, sufficiently quick onset of activity, or a long duration of action.

[0005] Ectoparasites tend to irritate the animals and can also cause clinical disease and adverse sub-clinical conditions, either by themselves or by carrying vector-transmitted pathogens.

[0006] Specifically, ticks parasitize on wild as well as domesticated animals and humans, and are known or suspected to be responsible for the transmission of pathogens including bacteria, viruses and protozoan parasites. Ticks also release toxins which cause inflammation or paralysis in the host. Occasionally, these toxins are fatal to the host.

[0007] On the other hand, such ectoparasites seriously impact productivity in the livestock animal industry by reducing weight gain, or milk production, causing inferior quality hide, wool, and meat, and in some cases resulting in mortality. Ectoparasites are also responsible, in part, for the spread of pathogens as vectors and cause discomfort in livestock and companion animals impacting animal welfare.

[0008] For example, a parasite which is prevalent among livestock animals, such as cattle, is the tick of the genus Rhipicephalus, especially those of the species R. microplus (tropical cattle tick), R. decoloratus and R. annulatus. Ticks such as R. microplus (formerly Boophilus microplus) are difficult to control because they lay eggs in the pasture where animals graze.

[0009] Such limitations include toxicity and safety of existing compounds both for the animal and the user / owner, limited efficacy (potency, onset of activity and duration), narrow spectrum of parasiticide action, bioavailability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics challenges and resistance issues. Further, certain aspects of the invention overcome at least some limitations in the use of current parasiticides, particularly in providing effective long term, safe control of parasites, that are known to be difficult to treat.

[0010] International patent applications WO2016 / 168056, WO2016 / 168058, WO 2016 / 168059 and WO2018 / 071327 disclose certain cyclopropyl amide compounds as having insecticidal and acaricidal activity and therefore, being useful in controlling agricultural plant pests. Although veterinary use is briefly mentioned, none of these citations exemplify or describe their use of the compounds as claimed herein that address at least some of the needs for its use of such compounds as veterinary medicament as described above. Furthermore, it was found that only a small selection of the compounds as described in these citation actually have an effect on veterinary parasites.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0027] This detailed description of preferred embodiments is intended only to acquaint others skilled in the art with Applicants' invention, its principles, and its practical application so that others skilled in the art may adapt and apply the invention in its numerous forms, as they may be best suited to the requirements of a particular use. This detailed description and its specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of this invention, are intended for purposes of illustration only.

[0028] This invention, therefore, is not limited to the preferred embodiments described in this specification and may be variously modified. In addition, for conciseness purposes and readability only some combinations of embodiments are explicitly described, however it should be understood that other combinations of embodiments are also contemplated.

[0029] Briefly, this invention relates to compounds that can generally be used as active ingredient in a medicament for animals. The compounds of the invention and / or embodiments thereof are suitably used in a method to treat or control an ectoparasite infestation and / or to protect animals from parasite infestations.

[0030] Surprisingly, it has been found that the compounds of the invention and / or embodiments thereof described herein exhibit superior broad-spectrum efficacy against harmful parasites more rapidly, and over a long duration compared to other similar compounds known in the art when administered to an animal in need thereof. Therefore, these compounds are useful in the methods or uses of the invention and / or embodiments thereof.

[0031] In the following text the compounds for use according to the invention and / or embodiments thereof are described as "compounds of the invention" or "compounds" or "compounds of the invention and / or embodiments thereof ( including compounds of Formula (I)" or "compounds of formula (I)" when they are disclosed as compounds per se or as compounds for use / in the method according to the invention.

[0032] The unexpected broad parasiticidal properties of these compounds for use according to the invention and / or embodiments thereof are of considerable significance since there are few agricultural pesticides that can be effectively be used against ectoparasites of animals, let alone against a broad range of animal parasites and in various target species

[0033] Compounds of the invention and / or embodiments thereof including compounds of Formula (I)-(XCII) show desirable bioavailability and pharmacokinetics when using different administration routes to administer them as a medicament to animals.. Many of the compounds also provide desirable safety profiles toward the target host animal and / or their owners. In addition, it has been discovered that a single administration of such compounds generally provides potent activity against a broad range of ectoparasites, including difficult to treat parasite infestations, using relevant administration routes while also tending to provide fast onset of activity, and / or long duration of activity, and / or desirable safety profiles. Consequently, these compounds have been shown to be useful as medicaments, especially antiparasitic veterinary medicaments.

[0034] The compounds of the invention and / or embodiments thereof show desired beneficial properties, that makes their use in medicaments for animals suitable and it has been further shown that the resistance breaking properties of such compounds are very favorable.

[0035] The Examples show that compounds of the invention and / or embodiments thereof including compounds of Formula (I) have broad activity both in vitro and in vivo against a number of veterinary relevant parasites that affect animals, such as one -host and multi- host ticks, fleas, bed bugs and sea lice that belong to diverse classes of biological organisms that are veterinary relevant parasites. It has been further shown in the Examples that existing parasite infestation with such parasites in different animals (cattle, dogs, fish, guinea pigs) can be successfully treated, while being safe to the animal.

[0036] Furthermore, the examples show that the compounds of the invention and / or embodiments thereof act against a broad range of animal parasites, in particular ectoparasites when administered to various target animals using a variety of administration routes.

[0037] Consequently, by using the compounds of the invention and / or embodiments thereof as described in this application disadvantages of the prior art can be avoided, because a convenient, safe administration of the cyclopropyl amide compound would be sufficient to achieve the desired effect.

[0038] In a first aspect the invention is directed to a compound of Formula (I) and N-oxides, veterinary acceptable acid addition salts, salt derivatives, solvates, ester derivatives, crystal polymorphs, isotopes, stereoisomers, and tautomers thereof, wherein A 1 is CR 5 , N=O, or N; A 2 is CR 6 , N=O, or N; A 3 is CR 7 , N=O, or N; A 4 is CR 8 , N=O or N; A 5 is CR 9 , N=O or N; and wherein no more than 3 of A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A 4 , A 5 are N or N=O; wherein at least one of R 5< , R 6< , R 7< , R 8< , R 9< , is a substituent selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, Br, and I.

[0039] It was found that compounds wherein the ring formed by C-A 1 -A 2 -A 3 -A 4 -A 5 is substituted with at least one halogen, these compounds are active against animal ectoparasites. This is in contrast to compounds wherein the ring formed by C-A 1 -A 2 -A 3 -A 4 -A 5 is not substituted with at halogen.

[0040] The comparative example below shows that similar compounds have been tested in prior art documents WO2016 / 168059 and WO2018 / 071327 against a range of agrochemical relevant parasites. Many compounds from WO2016 / 168059 and WO2018 / 071327 that were active in plant protection assays, were not active against animal parasites in an assay as described in Example 1. It was found that compounds wherein the ring formed by A 1 -A 5 that did not have a halogen substitution were active against agrochemical parasites but not against animal parasites. Compounds wherein the ring formed by A 1 -A 5 is substituted by at least one halogen are active against animal parasites.
